Commentary:

The Golf Club of Indiana is a nice track. The guys in the pro shop were very nice. Some of the nicest I have come across, in fact. They have had a lot of big names play this place, lots of pictures on the wall. To name a few I saw Fat Jack, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Gary Player, Fuzzy Zoeller, etc.

I went out solo, but played my last 3 holes on the front with two guys from the area. One in med school at IUPUI, the other a stay at home dad.

The course was in good shape, though it was a bit faster than some other courses around like Harrison Hills or Bear Slide, but for December 1st who’s complaining?!

Oh, and to date, it was the best round I have ever played. I was playing so quick in fact I played 3 extra holes on the back to put some space between myself and a group ahead of me. After this I still caught them again on 16.

10 – Simply amazing, go play this a.s.a.p.! Are you on your way?!

9 – One of the best, just not spot on "perfect" in every way. Play It!

8 – One of the best courses in the area; well worth the trip to play.

7 – Worth a round if you are within a reasonable distance. Good conditions and interesting layout.

6 – An above average course that is worth your time if you're close by. Should provide a nice round.

5 – An average course. Decent layout, decent conditions, and the value hits the sweet spot. The one to play after work for a quick round. However, it lacks an overall wow factor.

4 – Below average, but moderately interesting in places.

3 – A poor course. Conditions are pretty bad but the cost of a round usually outweighs the conditions. Play with your friends who are too cheap to pay for a better round of golf.

2 – Bad, but playable. Play it when you need some practice before spending $$$ on a "better" course.

1 – A very bad course, but often has a deal you can't pass up (e.g., I have played a few like this; got 18 and a cart for only $5, yeah, I'd play about anything for that too).

0 – The only way I'd "play" this course if it was in my backyard and it was free. I mean who turns down a free "driving range" which is all that this "course" is good for, not for golf but to hit balls at and forget about.
